The Staff Mental Health Network is an informal peer support network run by staff, for staff working within the University. The network also seeks to contribute toward mental health awareness and wellbeing in the University workplace.
The network aims to:
- Offer the opportunity for peer support through sharing personal experiences and coping strategies with staff colleagues;
- Raise awareness and reduce stigma in relation to talking about mental health and seeking support within the University workplace:
- Share information and work together to improve the workplace experience for staff;
- Work collaboratively with other groups locally (within the University and with other organisations) to improve mental health support for staff;
The network is open to any staff member who would like to join:
- Maybe you or someone you love faces challenges relating to mental health and wellbeing
- Maybe you manage staff who do
- Maybe you simply feel solidarity with those who live with mental health concerns and want to make a positive difference
Join the conversation: come along to one of our open and friendly meetings, or simply email to find out more at: staffmentalhealthnetwork@worc.ac.uk
